Chapter 54

1. Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly gripped the secret letter from his mother.

2. Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of promise written there as cherry blossoms danced in the wind.

3. A: The situation with Weatheremon, who was increasingly drifting away from humanity as he fought, led to him silently setting out to overturn tactical disadvantages. Se-chan, trying to stop him, was hit by a stray bullet and died. Even a genius who aimed to create a hero couldn't bear the dramatic death of his lover.

4. Q: Are there no bulletin board episodes for the original thread of GH:C?

A: There is a desire to write bulletin board episodes, but there is also a desire not to write only bulletin board episodes. Generally, the bulletin board episodes in the main story are interludes that occur during a certain period of time, like "Meanwhile, such a conversation was happening somewhere." So, unless it's something like Inventoria, there are no plans to write them currently.

5. Q: If the crystal cluster where the crystal scorpions live extends to the sea, how would the sea-adapted crystal scorpions look? They might survive without breathing if they can live off eating crystals, and in that case, they could inhabit the deep sea if they have a territory.

A: The mechanisms for mineral formation differ between the surface and the deep sea, making it difficult. They would likely no longer be "scorpions," probably more like crabs. Oh, and there are hermit crabs, which are distantly related.

6. Q: In the Century-End Round Table, the pencil, in Nefholor, Rust, and in Specular, Dipslo, who would be the "arch-nemesis" or "rival" of Sanraku, who has wandered through these games? Would it be Yashirobird or Survivoral?

A: There isn't a specific someone. If I have to say, it would be that everyone was an enemy in the isolated island of Sanraku.

7. Q: In the unique quest "Invitation from the Land of Rabbits," one of the rabbits from C to Z becomes a companion as a reward. If a 25th player appears, what would the ruling be? (Assuming all C to Z partners are filled)

A: Strictly speaking, it's "one of the rabbits from C to Z will guide you," so whether they become a party member is a separate matter. For example, the heroine is paired with Diaire, who is not related to the Rabbit Flag, and Sanraku is in a party with Beilack. So, for players after the 25th, one of C to Z will still guide them.

8. Q: Is the similarity in names between Edward and Edoard a coincidence?

A: There is respect involved. Edward is a person with a low human evaluation but a very high overall evaluation.

9. Q: Are the other server cancer players also playing Shangfuro?

A: Some are, some aren't. Not everyone is attached to the isolated island. While they might reminisce about their student days, not everyone wants to go back to being a student.

10. Q: Tell me about the hobbies of Rakuro's relatives.

A: Cars, alcohol, model kits, extreme machines, extreme sports, bicycles, bonsai, gambling, horses, dogs, cats, endangered species, fossils, making alcohol, and more.

11. Q: I can't sleep at night thinking about Dipslo's real body.

A: If he wanted to, he could live a normal daily life.

12. Q: I thought ABCED were related to Vash, but what about Vash's roots? If it's too harsh, at least the plan name!

A: There isn't really a plan. If I have to say, he was the first victim of Alice's "goodwill."

13. Q: How many Blots do you have?

A: There is basically one in my head, but it has been destroyed so much that it's in a state of constant change.

14. Q: If someone with Dipslo's level of task processing ability were a Sword Saint, how many swords could they manually control?

A: They could easily control seven or eight swords.

15. Q: Did the Fatal Rabbit use weapons before meeting Vash, and was it the same species as Almirage?

A: The Vorpel Bunny has always been a Vorpel Bunny, but Vash is not strictly a Vorpel Bunny... but that's a different story. I can guarantee the bloodline with Emu and the others.

16. Q: Please tell me about the Fried Potato girl!

A: She recently appeared in a commercial for a certain fast-food chain.

17. Q: Which route do you, the original author, prefer more: the Heroine's route or Akane's route?

A: Since the Heroine is the main character, I prefer the Heroine's route.

18. Q: Does a mechanical sword category like Gunblade exist in Shangfuro?

A: Basically, all gun categories are in the domain of Leviathan. They can be created if desired, but whether they are strong is a different issue.

19. Q: Tell me about Dragon Princess's current status!

A: Jackpot!!! (40% skill, 60% luck)

20. Q: When Weatheremon saw the charm Sanraku received from Emu, he said, "It has been woven..." What was woven?

A: It was a fragment of Alice's authentication code. It doesn't have any special power, but it's a statement about the fact that a human who inherited a relic from the Age of Gods is still alive in the present. Chronologically, Weatheremon dropped out before the first and second plans were initiated (it's a special line triggered by possessing items related to the Age of Gods).

21. Q: Does GH:C have a gender-bending skill like Midnight Bliss? I think female transformation and百合 (yuri) between lockpickers is possible (with a strange look in the eye).

A: It might turn the lockpickers into ne-Shota (young boys) influenced by the lockpickers. It would be a dynamic between a puppy-like Shota and a delinquent older sister.

22. Q: If Philogio's card is transferred to someone else, does the card's rarity change?

A: The rarity does not change. However, the card's performance is not affected by rarity, so rarity unification is in the domain of collectors.

23. Q: I want to see more interaction between the Heroine and Tsuchinoko (´・ω・`)

A: There is a person who has been stung by a bee. The thin presence of that person is intentional.

24. Q: One word on the current status of the withered spinach Kyogoku!

A: She is actually in a beastman village. The beastmen are in a lot of trouble. They are being disrespected by other races because they didn't show much enthusiasm during the Dragon Disaster War, and they are blaming each other for the responsibility.

25. Q: How many people have cleared the unique quests so far?

A: A lot. Unique scenarios occur quite frequently. For example, an old lady who usually requests ten herbs might issue a unique scenario where her daughter, who went to look for herbs, hasn't returned. Helping the daughter might lead to a flag with the daughter of Thirdrema. Today, the daughter of Thirdrema is running around Thirdrema... Where is the white clothed monster?

26. Q: Why was Dr. Sekka's legacy, such as standardization, not carried on?

A: Because Sekka's lab disappeared (it's hard to recover when it's left in an unknown location).

27. Q: Can you describe Alice Frontier's personality objectively and her self-evaluation?

A: Objective evaluation: A great person in both good and bad ways.

Self-evaluation: A rather selfish person, but doing something is better than doing nothing.

28. Q: Honestly, how many more chapters until the final chapter?

A: If we count the upper and lower chapters as one, there are a total of eight chapters.

29. Q: What kind of player is Renga in Shangfuro?

A: A regular melee attacker. It's natural for a duelist to have strong muscles.

30. Q: Do the characters' names have any references?

A: No, the author comes up with them reflexively. However, sometimes a character pops into their head and is unconsciously incorporated (like "Bomber!" leading to Aki Tsuji "Aki").

31. Q: A simple word about Ivory Son and Jizu!

A: A woman who makes all of humanity cry out, Jizu is no comment.

32. Q: How many lower compatibility versions of Inventoria are there at this stage?

A: It might increase, but there are about five or six.

33. Q: What are the B.I.G. values of the players in the Siegvolm arc, and who has the highest?

A: There isn't anyone who stands out as having an overwhelmingly high B.I.G. value. Despite standing out momentarily, the B.I.G. values of players who fought Sanraku for a long time are not that far apart. Siegvolm evaluates even the mobs, so... probably Aki Tsuji is at the top.

34. Q: I'm curious about the location and content of the Fallen Heavenly Emperor and Ascended Demon King quest that Lei created.

A: The quest is triggered by obtaining the divine sword of the god-demon that was embedded in the deepest part of the great hole at the top of the world. The conditions are met by visiting places with high "concentration"... like the Dead Fire Lake.

35. Q: Are there any plans for player copies (other than Sanraku)?

A: Expect it from the Green Great Edge, and I also want to push Aki Tsuji into the Orchestra swamp somehow.

36. Q: How much pain can Sanraku actually endure in real life?

A: If it exceeds a certain threshold, adrenaline kicks in and he pushes through. Below that, he feels the pain normally.

37. Q: Are the records of continent-destroying disasters correct for Agatreo, Klinzen, and Zepelnoize? And what disasters do they each govern?

A: If it weren't for the New Year's Eve vomit, this would be a good question.

Agatreo: Typhoons

Klinzen: Tsunamis

Zepelnoize: Earthquakes

38. Q: Where does colored mana return to its colorless state? Does it naturally become colorless, or is there something that turns it colorless? Or is it constantly being repainted in different colors?

A: It returns to colorless, or rather, it diffuses in the vast atmosphere and becomes unrecognizable as "colorless." It's similar to how paint poured into the sea eventually returns to the color of the sea. Microscopic "colored" particles can become magic or be absorbed by monsters in other places.

39. Q: You used the example of a stamp and a notebook to explain the difference between the Second Humans and Vash. Since the Second Humans were compared to a stamp, I think Vash is the notebook. Can you provide more information on this?

A: For example, if you cut down a tree in your neighborhood, you have killed that tree, but it doesn't mean the species of tree is extinct. It's the same idea.

40. Q: Will we encounter Python, who was a NEET, in Shangfuro?

A: Planned for the latter half of the Gordunine arc.

41. Q: Can you provide a list of the characters' affections towards Sanraku?

A:

Love:

Heroine, Dipslo

Like:

Aki Tsuji (generally liked by everyone), Rust (respect for warriors), Pencil (a friend to fool around with), Katsuo (like Naruto and Sasuke), Iwamaki (because they are a favorite couple)

Neutral:

Mord (strong impression of being dangerous), Kyogoku (brainwashed by the end of the Edo period, so strong hostility), Survivoral, Yashirobird

42. Q: I want to know the conditions for entering individual routes other than the Heroine's!

A: No choice, nya...

Aki Tsuji Route: Guaranteed if they were classmates with Rumi

Pencil Route: Guaranteed if Sanraku alone dealt with Pencil's stress explosion

Kyogoku Route: Guaranteed if Rakuro lives in Kyoto

Rust Route: The probability of the flag being set is displayed as 0%, but this novel rounds down to the nearest whole number, so in reality, there is a very low probability of the flag being set. It's practically zero.

Dipslo Route: There was a chance if you raised affection in Specular

43. Q: I want to know the current damage status of the color disasters, especially the three colors on the new continent.

A:

New Continent Black: It's getting dangerous if it's not discovered soon, qualitatively.

New Continent Green: Information about strange insect-type monsters is circulating.

New Continent White: The location is terrible, so it hasn't been discovered yet, allowing it to quietly develop like a monster version of SimCity.

Old Continent Red: It accounts for 40% of the Thirdrema Duke's stomachache, like having a nuclear bomb nearby.

Old Continent Green: It's getting dangerous if it's not discovered soon, quantitatively.

Old Continent Black: Encounters are frequent, so a serious extermination team is likely to be formed soon.

44. Q: What is the strongest goblin-type monster, even though they don't appear much in the early stages?

A: The Goblin King "Goblet" is relatively intelligent among the generally stupid goblins. Maintaining a "country" in the new continent indicates his excellence. However, the location is more important than combat power... By the way, the goblin "country" is at the westernmost point of the new continent. Wait, isn't that...?

45. Q: If there are combinations that the rioters prohibit, I'd like to see them.

A: Mixing concentrated "Tear Drop" Riot Blood with a different version of Riot Blood is taboo. The reason is unknown, but one theory is that "mixed blood calls forth evil"...

46. Q: Do Shizuka and Sylvia participate in the Traveling Wolves' chat?

A: Sylvia is on a private vacation, so she refrains from joining such clans. Shizuka found it hard to join after hearing about it in real life.

47. Q: You mentioned before that skills are more powerful than magic. Can you provide more details on that?

A: Humans can't breathe fire, but if they can use a skill to breathe fire, it means they are essentially "something human-like that can breathe fire."

48. Q: Who are the limited characters you want?

A: Rim Jeanne, and Bikara

49. Q: As you go further west in the new continent, do parasites and originally small creatures remain small, or do they grow to match the size of the giant monsters?

A: In a sense, it becomes the most primitive or primitive ecosystem in the Shangfuro world. The giant-scale monsters are essentially the environment itself, so microorganisms within each "environment" remain at their microbial size. However, there are human-sized
